Our Client Says

I have been using contractors office since 2010 and it has allowed me to greatly improve the way I do business. I can put out more professional contracts with more accurate estimates in in much less time. The support I received in learning and setting up the program was top notch. I just had my first problem in five years which turned out to be an issue with Microsoft Word. With tech support’s knowledge of its program and all related systems, the problem was found and fixed on my first call in just a few minutes. This type of service is rare. Thank you for creating and supporting this great program!

I purchased your Contractor’s Office Construction Management Software one month ago and it has drastically reduced the amount of time I spend on estimates. The program is more powerful than what I need but does everything I need so efficiently and effectively. Thanks for developing such a wonderful tool. It was money well spent!

We are a large Housing Authority and are required to do a construction estimate prior to bidding jobs so as to ensure cost control. In the past this involved either an architect or other professional providing us a cost estimate (for about the cost of your program).

For fire or other rehabilitation jobs this was not cost effective. After researching available programs, many costing multiple times more for the same product we selected PrioSoft’s Contractor’s Office.

I can say without a doubt that the Contractor’s Office was the easiest to get up to speed, the quickest to operate and developed the fastest bids for our jobs. Additionally the technical support is without parallel. The result has been we can turn out realistic estimates in a short amount of time. And when I got stuck one phone call solved the problem in seconds.

If someone is looking for an effective, quick learning curve program to estimate work this is the only program we would direct them to.

This is a great estimating software. My revenue has increased since day one of my purchase I’m very satisfied.

I wanted to take moment to thank you for the excellent service we have received from PrioSoft by purchasing Contractor’s Office software. A lot of thought has gone into the design and functionality of this software and with our company doing small – large renovations and commercial jobs we found it very hard to find an estimating software that was flexible enough to meet our demands but Contractor’s Office definitely has it covered now. Also i want to commend PrioSoft on the prompt customer service as it is outstanding, we never had to wait for support at anytime when we called in. PrioSoft has always given us prompt remote support on every call with patience and guided help, looks like you have a long time client with us.

Just wanted to touch base with you, and thank you, for your products part in streamlining my business into the future. As you know I’ve been a loyal customer of yours for some time. I’ve had the original contractors office installed in our office desktop. The estimating software has been second to none. As a General Contractor it had allowed me to send out professional looking estimates via email directly to my customers as opposed to mailing out my old hand written estimates and waiting for my customer to respond back. Now you bring this technology to the next step, with Contractors Office to my iPad. I can give professional looking estimates immediately on the spot. No more pads, with names and numbers all over them, no more down time of a customer waiting to get there quote mailing and mailing it back. It’s the most important tool in my truck. I know there is more features that I haven’t even been able to master, but with your support it’s always a phone call away. Thanks again.
